My oldest son used to eat anything until he turned three. Since then, he has become the world's pickiest eater and keeps getting worse. Because our family eats dinner together at the table nearly every night I am always looking for meals that we all will eat and enjoy. Here is one of our favorite recipes. The results are better than any resteraunt style chicken fingers, with a little kick.

Fried Chicken Fingers

2 teaspoons garlic powder1 teaspoon ground black pepper1 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon paprika1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs (smashed)1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper1 cup all-purpose flour1/2 cup milk1 egg8-10 boneless, skinless chicken tenders1 cup oil for frying, or as neededDirections:1. In a shallow dish, mix together the dry ingredients. In a separate dish, whisk together the milk and egg.2. Heat the oil in an electric skillet set to 350 degrees. Dip the chicken into the egg and milk, then dredge in the dry ingredients until evenly coated.3. Fry chicken in the hot oil for about 5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from the oil and serve.

My son eats the chicken fingers with ketchup. The rest of us enjoy them with mashed potatoes and gravy.

Welcome to Utah Mom's Life Blog

I love spending my days as a mom to my five brilliant, beautiful and busy kids. Once they're in bed, I love rejuvenating by reading a really great book.

Book Reviews, give-aways, stories about my kids and fun things to do around Utah--just a little of what you'll find on Utah Mom's Life.
